... comprehensive Annual MH screenings by quality checked, LICENSED MH professionals, and mandatory reporting for LE doing DV and SUSPECTED DV cases...
But yes...that too. 😁

@Heucuva8 @CommonSenseGent @MommaJ @Render Mental health is NOT driving gun violence.
The science says so.
If you want to spend money for MH, that’s great.
But don’t pretend it’s to solve gun violence.
I never said it was, but 2A gun nuts that want a scapegoat are going to point to MH and kick and scream so let's disarm that talking point.
Work on MH, and when the violence still happens, we can say "See? It IS the prevalence of guns and the conflation of guns with "masculinity" in gun culture that's driving it. Now, we're adding laws and we don't want to hear a peep about MH from you guys".
@Heucuva8 @CommonSenseGent @MommaJ @Render
We already know it is the prevalence of guns that drives gun violence.
How?
Like my other posts, it’s science.
